Introducing Lund
Lund is a super little place with a 1000-year-old history. Its mighty cathedral, with giants in the crypt and a magical clock, should not be missed; but really the whole town is infused with a mellow charm. Delicious medieval houses are scattered amongst green parks and gardens, and the university adds a quiet buzz of bright young things…though not during the summer holidays when the students go on vacation.

The second-oldest town in Sweden, Lund was founded by the Danes around 1000. It went on to become the seat of the largest archbishopric in Europe after the cathedral was built. Vikings and bishops aside, Lund's modern claim to fame is as the birthplace of the ink-jet printer.
